Arrangement of a balcony
If you live in an apartment, then almost certainly at some point in your life you are faced with the question of arranging a balcony. Almost everyone is interested in creating a comfortable, interesting and beautiful place out of their “possessions”, where it will be pleasant to work, relax, engage in creative experiments, have fun with friends, etc.
And all this equally applies to the balcony. It can be considered as an additional room in which you can place whatever you want. There are several options for how you can furnish your balcony. Depending on the choice, absolutely everything can change, right down to the finish.
Balcony as a place to relax
If you think that the balcony will be an ideal room for this type of relaxation, such as reading books, watching movies on a laptop, and so on, then first of all you need to pay attention to finishing the balcony. Firstly, it needs to be completely glazed, and it is better to use windows that retain heat and do not let in drafts (modern plastic or aluminum options are fine). Secondly, you need to provide heating so that you are comfortable in winter - compact, portable heaters are perfect for this role. Thirdly, you need to provide lighting. So it is recommended to provide the balcony with basic electrical wiring, and place wall and table lamps. The situation should be quite obvious - a comfortable chair or sofa (you can also build a bed, but this will require skill), a bookshelf, a small coffee table, a rug under your feet. You should not use too much furniture, yet this is not a full-fledged room, although it is essentially a small living room.
Balcony as a workplace
Sometimes we need a place where no one will interfere, and we can fully concentrate on work. Not always in the apartment there is a room where you can place your own office. But if you have a balcony, then you can make a mini-study. Of course, it is impossible to work with people in such an “office”, but for self-study it is the very thing. Also, it can be a learning place for a schoolboy or student. To equip the balcony, you will need to take the same measures as in the previous version - insulation, heating, lighting. From furniture you will need a desktop and a chair, bookshelves.
Balcony as a summer playground
If you want to admire the sunsets and sunrises in summer, breathe the morning and evening air, admire the city at night, then it is better not to completely glaze the balcony, but to use beautiful material to make a fence. For this, forged gratings of various colors and shapes are often used. On such a balcony it is worth placing a small coffee table, a comfortable chair or armchair. A little lighting would be nice, but it's not necessary. Also, pots with pleasantly smelling summer flowers - mattiolas, petunias, etc. will be very out of place. And in the summer you can enjoy the coolness of the evening, instead of sitting in a stuffy kitchen.
